Sorry, I did not mean to imply that the above commit caused the crash
you saw in Jun 2010.

I can reproduce a crash with 2.6.32 - where if container-init terminates
before a detached child, we get a crash when the detached child calls
proc_flush_mnt(). I suspected it was because do_wait_thread() skipped
over detached tasks (in 2.6.32).

The same test case does not crash on 2.6.37 - which includes the above commit.
The removes the check for detached tasks, my initial guess is that the above
commit, may have contributed to _fixing_ the crash in 2.6.37.
